Hi there --
> The logic of domination gender-based...?
[If I've understood this] the logic of domination is a phrased coined
by Karen Warren to describe the relations along
male/female//society/nature analogy. It isn't just the domination of
females by males and nature by society that offers a sound analysis,
but recognizing the implicit logic underlying the tendency to
dominate. Domination is tough enough, but the logic of that
domination is the motive force.
She's done quite a bit of solid work in the area. Serious and useful
insights.

I am not sure that I understand lumping child birth into a
category of roles that are socially and culturally based. I am
interested in hearing your reasoning...
